Darkness
Slowly grasps my heart.
Every beat
Becomes a yearning for relief.
I want to cry
But I cannot...
I will not....
Because I cannot forget....
And I do not regret
The violence that exploded from my hands
And bled all over you.
I thought I had moved on
I believed that I had forgiven....
Your drunken laments
That pierced my life
And the abusive pain
That shattered my soul.
Curses
Race through my veins
Hatred bleeds from my eyes.
All I can do is stare at you...
Fists clenched in violence....
And the only words that come to mind...
Good-bye...
Good-bye...
Good-bye.
